Top 10: Cheapest places to wine and dine in Salford and Manchester
"Bella Italia might not seem like the most obvious choice for a bottomless brunch, but actually, their offer is pretty damn good. You get two courses and bottomless prosecco for £27.99pp, and you can take advantage of this offer every Friday to Sunday between 11:30 and 5. How about a bruschetta followed by a pizza, or a delightful pasta dish?"
"The stylish curved steel structure of Salford Quays was completed in 2000, following on from plans drafted in 1988 to regenerate the derelict Manchester docks area. The centre is now a cultural hub of theatre and gallery space, with a few restaurants…"
"With its original site in up-and-coming Ancoats and a newly opened branch on Peter Street, it’s a go-to place for pizza and cocktails with your pals. Pizza dough is made on site twice a day and cooked for no longer than a minute to produce a springy base. Choose from toppings including classic margherita with buffalo mozzarella, spicy ‘nduja sausage with tomato and fior di latte, or white pizza with smoked mozzarella, Tuscan sausage and wild broccoli."

"If it’s traditional Neapolitan pizza you’re after, Rudy’s has held back 50% of its tables at both the Peter Street and Ancoats restaurants for walk-ins only from this week, so you can find menus, opening times and more information on the website here."
"It can be hard to find a restaurant for a sophisticated meal that has more than just salad as a vegan option, but Don Giovanni have changed the game. Releasing a dedicated vegan menu earlier this year, the chefs are no strangers to plant-based meals. Tuck into a roasted aubergine lasagne or pizza vegano, complete with vegan mozzarella."
"With more than 30 years in the business, Don Giovannis knows a thing or two about Italian dining in Manchester. As the longest-running independent Italian, the space has been keeping the city happy for decades thanks to tasty mix of steaks, fish and risotto dishes."
"Don Marco is an Italian-themed brasserie that’s ideal for couples in the mood for a romantic dining experience. Many of the dishes on Don Marco’s menu are especially colourful thanks to the heavy use of fresh vegetables in most dishes. Pasta fans will find dozens of dishes at Don Marco to choose from ranging from standard spaghetti alla carbonara to tagliatelle with salmon, spinach, peas, and asparagus."
"The Royal Exchange Theatre is free to visit, also when you don’t have tickets for a show. Besides the round stage in the middle of the dome you’ll also find the Rivals restaurant and bar and a theatre shop in the Royal Exchange Theatre. The pink illumination makes this theatre great for Instagram pictures."
"This is truly an amazing building and its history also tells the history of Manchester. Not officially a museum, The Royal Exchange is definitely worth exploring. You only need to step into the great entrance hall to understand why you should pop in."
"Located along Preston's main street for nightlife, Fishers is a large pub serving traditional pub food, beers, and spirits. The venue is perfect for those wanting to watch live sport over some drinks, with football, rugby, and boxing being screened. For hungry visitors, the pub also has a menu packed full of hearty choices, including vegetarian and vegan options."
